No sew week!

I have done no sewing this week! But I have entered a competition. It just so happened this week the theme at the Quilting Gallery was trees, leaves and flowers. So have entered my flower pillow. Take a look here and cast a vote no the entries you like.

That's about it on the sewing front though. This is because at the last minute we decided to book a hotel break in Whistler for a few days. The summer weather seems to have deserted us, but that has not damped our spirits at all. We have done lots of mountain biking! We found a 'cool' bike park (according to my son!) The hotel has a pool so we have done lots of swimming too. Thankfully the outdoor pool was heated and there were numerous hot tubs to warm up in! OJ (son) has finally learnt to swim whilst here too! He has been swimming widths of the pool! So pleased! Only one more to get out of armbands now, and she won't be long looking at her!We are off to do some kayaking / canoeing in the morning which we are all looking forward to. Hoping the rain holds off :)Unfortunately, child number 3 is still too little for a lot of the activities we would have liked to do but we will get there another year! And another highlight of the stay for me, no cooking!But back home tomorrow. Thankfully a long weekend before school starts next week! Cannot believe it is so close to September!
